Definitions
- the present invention relates to a radiation source assembly. In another of its aspects, the present invention relates to a radiation source module comprising a plurality of radiation source assemblies. Other aspects of the invention will become apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the present specification.
- Fluid treatment systems are known generally in the art.
- Such systems include an array of UV lamp frames which include several UV lamps each of which are mounted within sleeves which extend between and are supported by a pair of legs which are attached to a cross-piece.
- the so-supported sleeves (containing the UV lamps) are immersed into a fluid to be treated which is then irradiated as required.
- the amount of radiation to which the fluid is exposed is determined by the proximity of the fluid to the lamps, the output wattage of the lamps and the fluid's flow rate past the lamps.
- one or more UV sensors may be employed to monitor the UV output of the lamps and the fluid level is typically controlled, to some extent, downstream of the treatment device by means of level gates or the like.
- the radiation source is disposed in the fluid to be treated in a manner such that the longitudinal axis of the radiation source is in a transverse (e.g., substantially orthogonal or vertical orientation of the radiation sources) relationship with respect to the direction of fluid flow past the radiation source. See, for example, any one of:
- a radiation source assembly that obviates or mitigates at least one of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. More particularly, it would be desirable to have a radiation source assembly which was configured to require that power to the radiation source (e.g., lamp) in the assembly be disconnected prior to being able to remove the radiation source from the fluid treatment system. Such a radiation source assembly would have improved safety and reduce potential occupational health risks associated with the prior art approach described above.
- the present invention provides a radiation source assembly comprising:
- a reactor port for receiving and reversibly securing the elongate radiation source; a top plug element for reversible connection to a proximal end of the radiation source and reversible engagement with the reactor port; the top plug element configured to be disengaged from reactor port without disengagement of the elongate radiation source from the reactor port.
- the invention also relates to a radiation source module and to a fluid treatment system incorporating this radiation source assembly.
- the present inventors have developed a novel radiation source assembly which obviates or mitigates one or more of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.
- the present radiation source assembly is configured such that the power supply to the elongate radiation source must be disconnected prior to the service operator being able to remove the elongate radiation source from the fluid treatment system.
- the radiation source assembly By configuring the radiation source assembly to require such a two step operation, safety is improved and potential occupational health risks are obviated or mitigated.
- additional advantageous concerning safety accrue from the provision of a means for the service operator to know if the radiation source assembly is flooded with high pressure fluid prior to disconnection of the power from the elongate radiation source.

Housing 240 further comprises a pair of slot portions 280 (only one is shown for clarity in Figure 14) which are configured to receive indexing key 160 of elongate radiation source 110.
- Radiation source assembly 100 is assembled by initially installing elongate radiation 110 in reactor port 115 and thereafter connecting top plug 120 to reactor port 115 thereby establishing an electrical connection between top plug 120 and elongate radiation source 110.
- This sequential approach in assembling radiation source assembly 110 is reversed when it is desired to replace or otherwise service elongate radiation source assembly 110.
- electrical power can not be supplied to elongate radiation source 110 unless it is installed in reactor port 115 prior to engagement of top plug 120 and reactor port 115. This is a significant advantage of the present invention.
- elongate radiation source 110 is disposed in reactor port 115 as shown in Figure 1 and is continued to be moved downwardly into reactor port 115 - see Figures 3 and 4.
- indexing key 160 is aligned with slots 280 on the inside of housing 240.
- the shape of indexing key 160 and slots 280 necessitates only a single correct position of elongate radiation source 110 with respect to reactor port 115.
- locking wings 165 of lamp plug 125 are biased inwardly until locking edges 170 of locking wings 165 clear locking tabs 270 disposed on the interior of housing 240.
- top plug 120 is placed over the combination of installed elongate radiation source 110 and reactor port 115 - see Figure 9.
- Top plug 120 is lowered toward housing 120 of reactor port 115 in a manner such that positioning pins 275 on the inside of housing 240 are aligned with the entry of positioning groove 205 of top plug 120.
- Top plug 120 is pushed down such that locking edges 170 of locking wings 265 clear locking tabs 270 of housing 240, locking wings 265 snap back into the original position thereby locking lamp plug 125 into reactor port 115.
- Figures 5-8 illustrate this configuration of the assembly.
- top plug 120 is rotated such that locating pin 275 follows locating groove 205 resulting in aperture 200 of top plug 120 moving toward aperture 250 of reactor port 115.
- slide switch 265 is depressed by the action of rotating top plug 120 which allows locking pin 260 to be at least partially retracted into aperture 250.
- top plug 120 is removed from reactor port 115.
- slide switch 265 is actuated allowing the operator to depress locking pin 260 and twist top plug 120 with respect to reactor port 115 thereby moving locator pin 275 of housing 240 with respect to locating groove 205 of top plug 120. If protective sleeve 117 in which elongate radiation source 100 has been disposed is cracked, broken or otherwise comprised resulting in flooding of the radiation source assembly with pressurized fluid, the pressurized fluid will force locking pin 275 of housing 240 to reside in receptacle 210 of locating groove 205.
- elongate radiation source 110 may be removed from reactor port 115 by rotating lamp plug 125 until locking wings 265 of lamp plug 125 clear locking tabs 270 of housing 240 of reactor port 115. At this point, elongate radiation source 110 may be fully retracted from reactor port 115.
